Red Cross volunteers provided emergency food and clothing to the family. “This has been a very busy summer season for fires” stated James Love, Executive Director of the Wayne County Chapter. “We are averaging a little over a fire a week in the community which is a lot during the summer months”. Love also stated that the busiest time of year for fires is during the months of November, December, and January when people turn to alternative sources of heat.You can help the American Red Cross continue proving assistance to families that have been impacted by fires and other disasters by making a financial gift to the American Red Cross Local Disaster Relief Fund.
